The Senate reached a deal on a $484 billion stimulus package Tuesday afternoon, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo met with President Donald Trump at the White House after some fiery exchanges over their respective handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

The stimulus deal senators agreed to, much of it aimed at boosting small businesses, will supplement the $2 trillion legislation passed last month. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hailed it as a "bipartisan agreement."
Cuomo has repeatedly chastised the president for asking governors to lead the struggle against the outbreak without enough federal resources. Trump responded this week by tweeting the governor should "spend more time 'doing' and less time 'complaining.' "

#trump #coronavirus #stimulus
It’s been a month. Why aren’t citizens getting a second stimulus check. Our bills don’t just happen once every 2 months.
@Bil Ska that you suck at life?? i guess..lol
The whole world is going through this economic drought. Here we are still fighting each other. Let’s set aside our political views for now. Team up and invest on finding a cure!! Not a vaccine that was manufactured in China please!!
I still haven’t received the stimulus check wtheck
Mr Hawkhawk thank you, Mr Hawkhawk
@Mr Hawkhawk i did indeed get it . Thank you mr. Hawkhaek
@Brianna yomama good.. are you a Dem. ? Are you happy for Biden? What female should be his VP?
@Mr Hawkhawk no i am not. Hell no , and i dont know or care the entire swamp of congress needs to be drained Republican or Democrat are both 2 sides to the same 7 headed dragon
@Brianna yomama I like your honesty..
The question and answer period of this update should frighten every American. Notice how the false narrative is presumed to truth by everyone in that room. Then that false narrative is projected upon the entire country. It takes a sharp ear to notice this manipulation that leads to delusion. Americans need to stop hitting the snooze button and wake up!
Can you say that one more time, in some simpler terms.
1ddetweiler Yes they do. https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=CChCM_1587503244
Too many people are believing this bullsh*t.
Can’t get much simpler than that, 😳🤔

You gotta get inside the head of a narc to know what their next move gonna be.
Ritual press conferences that are designed to pull wool over the populations eyes. Some how the world is driven by ignorant and Naive people who splurt out stats and figures that are always wrong. The media then pump out stats and figures and as the public are non the wiser.we don’t question any of these so called stats that then influence and govern our lives. All I’m saying is no way people in these press conferences have my best interest at heart. lol . WAKE UP and change the conversation
Change it to what?
Yesterday on a hot mike before the White House news conference it was admitted that the fatality rate was only 0.1 to 0.5

Back to what it use to be!! https://youtu.be/nSNZnlEL1uY
IRS guy looks like he’s fighting with his face every time he tells a lie… Anyone notice that?.. Lol
He is a creep 😖!
Typical “life loser” reply – WE NOTICED THAT!!
Jesse Williams yup 😂
Yeah his face is dreading the mirror..
Jesse Williams dude looks like a pedophile if you ask me
Will PPE shipments that hospitals have already paid for continue to be intercepted by the white house and rerouted to friendly governors? Does the President agree that this practice amounts to genocide by attrition?
Maybe we should ask why china is still not releasing them out of the country? And wait, didn’t NY get a 2000 bed hospital ship and a couple hospitals built by the feds? Were they considered friendly?

My mom has medical problems which tests are not finish for this pandemic and she goes to work everyday because bills did not stop coming no matter about the pandemic , with this fund I want to help her so she can take a break from work and stay home with me because I love her . Please help me.
Your absolutely right Jesse
@Brian Baff considering New York is the global epicenter, 2000 beds is almost nothing. That’s not even acknowledging the ventilator catastrophe in that state.
Yip.
Look at all those adds on this vid
@wowow wowoo eh, I pay 4.99 a month for it since my price was grandfathered in from when premium first started. $5 is a fraction of what I make an hour and I never get ads, unlimited downloads and I can have my phone screen off while still having a video/music play. so pretty worth it to me… unless you like ads haha
